"content": "We need to have incentives for the communities living around the forests. It is sad that the same people who protect the Kakamega Forest; the communities of the Isukhas, Idakhos and Kabras, are antagonized by the forest police. There are instances where old women who go to the forest to collect firewood are arrested and beaten up, just because they went into the forest. It is very unfair for such people to be antagonized. We need to give the surrounding communities incentives. Firewood consists of the pieces of trees that have fallen down, which if left there will decompose. It is, therefore, important for us to encourage the police officers in the forest department to ensure that they work well with the communities surrounding the forests.
